Hosea 4

KJV

1  Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 ye children1121 of Israel:3478 for3588 the LORD3068 hath a controversy7379 with5973 the inhabitants3427 of the land,776 because3588 there is no369 truth,571 nor369 mercy,2617 nor369 knowledge1847 of God430 in the land.776

2  By swearing,422 and lying,3584 and killing,7523 and stealing,1589 and committing adultery,5003 they break out,6555 and blood1818 toucheth5060 blood.1818

3  Therefore5921 3651 shall the land776 mourn,56 and every one3605 that dwelleth3427 therein shall languish,535 with the beasts2416 of the field,7704 and with the fowls5775 of heaven;8064 yea, the fishes1709 of the sea3220 also1571 shall be taken away.622

4  Yet389 let no408 man376 strive,7378 nor408 reprove3198 another:376 for thy people5971 are as they that strive7378 with the priest.3548

5  Therefore shalt thou fall3782 in the day,3117 and the prophet5030 also1571 shall fall3782 with5973 thee in the night,3915 and I will destroy1820 thy mother.517

6  My people5971 are destroyed1820 for lack4480 1097 of knowledge:1847 because3588 thou859 hast rejected3988 knowledge,1847 I will also reject3988 thee, that thou shalt be no priest4480 3547 to me: seeing thou hast forgotten7911 the law8451 of thy God,430 I589 will also1571 forget7911 thy children.1121

7  As they were increased,7231 so3651 they sinned2398 against me: therefore will I change4171 their glory3519 into shame.7036

8  They eat up398 the sin2403 of my people,5971 and they set5375 their heart5315 on413 their iniquity.5771

9  And there shall be,1961 like people,5971 like priest:3548 and I will punish6485 5921 them for their ways,1870 and reward7725 them their doings.4611

10  For they shall eat,398 and not3808 have enough:7646 they shall commit whoredom,2181 and shall not3808 increase:6555 because3588 they have left off5800 to take heed8104 853 to the LORD.3068

11  Whoredom2184 and wine3196 and new wine8492 take away3947 the heart.3820

12  My people5971 ask counsel7592 at their stocks,6086 and their staff4731 declareth5046 unto them: for3588 the spirit7307 of whoredoms2183 hath caused them to err,8582 and they have gone a whoring2181 from under4480 8478 their God.430

13  They sacrifice2076 upon5921 the tops7218 of the mountains,2022 and burn incense6999 upon5921 the hills,1389 under8478 oaks437 and poplars3839 and elms,424 because3588 the shadow6738 thereof is good:2896 therefore5921 3651 your daughters1323 shall commit whoredom,2181 and your spouses3618 shall commit adultery.5003

14  I will not3808 punish6485 5921 your daughters1323 when3588 they commit whoredom,2181 nor your spouses3618 when3588 they commit adultery:5003 for3588 themselves1992 are separated6504 with5973 whores,2181 and they sacrifice2076 with5973 harlots:6948 therefore the people5971 that doth not3808 understand995 shall fall.3832

15  Though518 thou,859 Israel,3478 play the harlot,2181 yet let not408 Judah3063 offend;816 and come935 not408 ye unto Gilgal,1537 neither408 go ye up5927 to Beth-aven,1007 nor408 swear,7650 The LORD3068 liveth.2416

16  For3588 Israel3478 slideth back5637 as a backsliding5637 heifer:6510 now6258 the LORD3068 will feed7462 them as a lamb3532 in a large place.4800

17  Ephraim669 is joined2266 to idols:6091 let him alone.5117

18  Their drink5435 is sour:5493 they have committed whoredom continually:2181 2181 her rulers4043 with shame7036 do love,157 Give3051 ye.

19  The wind7307 hath bound her up6887 853 in her wings,3671 and they shall be ashamed954 because of their sacrifices.4480 2077

1 ἀκούσατε λόγον κυρίου υἱοὶ Ισραηλ διότι κρίσις τῷ κυρίῳ πρὸς τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν διότι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀλήθεια οὐδὲ ἔλεος οὐδὲ ἐπίγνωσις θεοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

2 ἀρὰ καὶ ψεῦδος καὶ φόνος καὶ κλοπὴ καὶ μοιχεία κέχυται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ αἵματα ἐφ᾽ αἵμασιν μίσγουσιν

3 διὰ τοῦτο πενθήσει ἡ γῆ καὶ σμικρυνθήσεται σὺν πᾶσιν τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν αὐτήν σὺν τοῖς θηρίοις τοῦ ἀγροῦ καὶ σὺν τοῖς ἑρπετοῖς τῆς γῆς καὶ σὺν τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ οἱ ἰχθύες τῆς θαλάσσης ἐκλείψουσιν

4 ὅπως μηδεὶς μήτε δικάζηται μήτε ἐλέγχῃ μηδείς ὁ δὲ λαός μου ὡς ἀντιλεγόμενος ἱερεύς

5 καὶ ἀσθενήσεις ἡμέρας καὶ ἀσθενήσει καὶ προφήτης μετὰ σοῦ νυκτὶ ὡμοίωσα τὴν μητέρα σου

6 ὡμοιώθη ὁ λαός μου ὡς οὐκ ἔχων γνῶσιν ὅτι σὺ ἐπίγνωσιν ἀπώσω κἀγὼ ἀπώσομαι σὲ τοῦ μὴ ἱερατεύειν μοι καὶ ἐπελάθου νόμον θεοῦ σου κἀγὼ ἐπιλήσομαι τέκνων σου

7 κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος αὐτῶν οὕτως ἥμαρτόν μοι τὴν δόξαν αὐτῶν εἰς ἀτιμίαν θήσομαι

8 ἁμαρτίας λαοῦ μου φάγονται καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν λήμψονται τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν

9 καὶ ἔσται καθὼς ὁ λαὸς οὕτως καὶ ὁ ἱερεύς καὶ ἐκδικήσω ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ διαβούλια αὐτοῦ ἀνταποδώσω αὐτῷ

10 καὶ φάγονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐμπλησθῶσιν ἐπόρνευσαν καὶ οὐ μὴ κατευθύνωσιν διότι τὸν κύριον ἐγκατέλιπον τοῦ φυλάξαι

11 πορνείαν καὶ οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα ἐδέξατο καρδία λαοῦ μου

12 ἐν συμβόλοις ἐπηρώτων καὶ ἐν ῥάβδοις αὐτοῦ ἀπήγγελλον αὐτῷ πνεύματι πορνείας ἐπλανήθησαν καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσαν ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτῶν

13 ἐπὶ τὰς κορυφὰς τῶν ὀρέων ἐθυσίαζον καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς βουνοὺς ἔθυον ὑποκάτω δρυὸς καὶ λεύκης καὶ δένδρου συσκιάζοντος ὅτι καλὸν σκέπη διὰ τοῦτο ἐκπορνεύσουσιν αἱ θυγατέρες ὑμῶν καὶ αἱ νύμφαι ὑμῶν μοιχεύσουσιν

14 καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐπισκέψωμαι ἐπὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν ὅταν πορνεύωσιν καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς νύμφας ὑμῶν ὅταν μοιχεύωσιν διότι καὶ αὐτοὶ μετὰ τῶν πορνῶν συνεφύροντο καὶ μετὰ τῶν τετελεσμένων ἔθυον καὶ ὁ λαὸς ὁ συνίων συνεπλέκετο μετὰ πόρνης

15 σὺ δέ Ισραηλ μὴ ἀγνόει καὶ Ιουδα μὴ εἰσπορεύεσθε εἰς Γαλγαλα καὶ μὴ ἀναβαίνετε εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ων καὶ μὴ ὀμνύετε ζῶντα κύριον

16 ὅτι ὡς δάμαλις παροιστρῶσα παροίστρησεν Ισραηλ νῦν νεμήσει αὐτοὺς κύριος ὡς ἀμνὸν ἐν εὐρυχώρῳ

17 μέτοχος εἰδώλων Εφραιμ ἔθηκεν ἑαυτῷ σκάνδαλα

18 ᾑρέτισεν Χαναναίους πορνεύοντες ἐξεπόρνευσαν ἠγάπησαν ἀτιμίαν ἐκ φρυάγματος αὐτῶν

19 συστροφὴ πνεύματος σὺ εἶ ἐν ταῖς πτέρυξιν αὐτῆς καὶ καταισχυνθήσονται ἐκ τῶν θυσιαστηρίων αὐτῶν

1 [Audite verbum Domini, filii Israël,
quia judicium Domino cum habitatoribus terræ:
non est enim veritas, et non est misericordia,
et non est scientia Dei in terra.

2 Maledictum, et mendacium,
et homicidium, et furtum, et adulterium inundaverunt,
et sanguis sanguinem tetigit.

3 Propter hoc lugebit terra,
et infirmabitur omnis qui habitat in ea,
in bestia agri, et in volucre cæli;
sed et pisces maris congregabuntur.

4 Verumtamen unusquisque non judicet,
et non arguatur vir:
populus enim tuus sicut hi qui contradicunt sacerdoti.

5 Et corrues hodie,
et corruet etiam propheta tecum.
Nocte tacere feci matrem tuam.

6 Conticuit populus meus,
eo quod non habuerit scientiam:
quia tu scientiam repulisti,
repellam te, ne sacerdotio fungaris mihi;
et oblita es legis Dei tui,
obliviscar filiorum tuorum et ego.

7 Secundum multitudinem eorum sic peccaverunt mihi:
gloriam eorum in ignominiam commutabo.

8 Peccata populi mei comedent,
et ad iniquitatem eorum sublevabunt animas eorum.

9 Et erit sicut populus, sic sacerdos;
et visitabo super eum vias ejus,
et cogitationes ejus reddam ei.

10 Et comedent, et non saturabuntur;
fornicati sunt, et non cessaverunt:
quoniam Dominum dereliquerunt in non custodiendo.

11 Fornicatio, et vinum, et ebrietas auferunt cor.

12 Populus meus in ligno suo interrogavit,
et baculus ejus annuntiavit ei;
spiritus enim fornicationum decepit eos,
et fornicati sunt a Deo suo.

13 Super capita montium sacrificabant,
et super colles ascendebant thymiama;
subtus quercum, et populum, et terebinthum,
quia bona erat umbra ejus;
ideo fornicabuntur filiæ vestræ,
et sponsæ vestræ adulteræ erunt.

14 Non visitabo super filias vestras cum fuerint fornicatæ,
et super sponsas vestras cum adulteraverint,
quoniam ipsi cum meretricibus conversabantur,
et cum effeminatis sacrificabant;
et populus non intelligens vapulabit.

15 Si fornicaris tu, Israël,
non delinquat saltem Juda;
et nolite ingredi in Galgala,
et ne ascenderitis in Bethaven,
neque juraveritis: Vivit Dominus!

16 Quoniam sicut vacca lasciviens declinavit Israël;
nunc pascet eos Dominus, quasi agnum in latitudine.

17 Particeps idolorum Ephraim: dimitte eum.

18 Separatum est convivium eorum;
fornicatione fornicati sunt:
dilexerunt afferre ignominiam protectores ejus.

19 Ligavit eum spiritus in alis suis,
et confundentur a sacrificiis suis.]
